- I always love the term 'psychedelic'. It has a few negative connotations, depending on how you happen upon the word in the first place, but in the main I'm very happy to be described as that. I think the mis-conception with the word 'psychedelic' in music is that it pertains to a particular era, ie: the late sixties. That's not the case, Steve Reich is psychedelic music, as is Devin Townsend, Shudder to Think, Debussy, My Bloody Valentine, Don Caballero, White Noise, Autechre, Magma, The Necks etc. I like it because it seems to describe more how the music makes you feel than a particular sound or style. There's that horrible term "pronk", which is supposed to be a cross between prog and punk, which I loathe. I don't go in for descriptions anyway. Thinking of music in terms of genre is so reductive.

- I suppose if I could identify my limitations I could correct them and I guess everyone does that anyway to some degree. I like my limitations. It means that all the stuff I put out that I've written definitely sounds like me, which I think is a good thing. (en)
